Cà Mau, commonly known as the last frontier land of the country, is a coastal province in the South Pole of Vũ Long River in the West of Vietnam. Cà Mau is a young land that has just been excavated for more than 300 years. The book Gia Định Thành Thông Chí of Trịnh Quải Đức has written that in the Gia Long period, the highlands in the Ong Đốc River, Cành Hào River, Bảy Tháp River and a few more highlands were built early. Even so, until the time of German colonization, Cà Mau was still a fertile land. No one came to work because of the lack of fresh water and too many fields. With residents, there must be a market. The floating market of Cà Mau is considered the earliest city in this land. Because of the lack of air, the main transport vehicle is a boat. Dear viewers, The land of Cà Mau seems to be in hurry because of something. Maybe because this is the last land of the country, where the excavated cemeteries of the Southeast of the demigods stopped here to make the Amateur Land gradually appear. Ladies and Gentleman, we are looking for the floating market of Cà Mau. Now and then, where there are many boats. Gradually, these boats gather to create a place to sell goods at the end of Cành Hào River. After hundreds of years, Ca Mau floating market is now famous. Let's go to the floating market to find out what to buy. Located in the heart of Ca Mau, near the end of Canh Hao river, is a floating market on the river bank. In order, whoever comes first, goes first, whoever comes later, goes later, in front of the gate. The living style of Ca Mau floating market is completely different from other floating markets in the West. Floating market is located on the bank of the river. There is no small boat on the river to buy goods, which affects the traffic. Because Canh Hao river is quite small. Each boat turns its nose in, then sells like a small sign on the river bank. A craftsman wrote to the floating market of Ca Mau. I don't know when the market was formed. It must have been from the boats of both sides of the river. One day, they climbed close to each other to ask for a little fire. They exchanged rice, papayas, water lilies, and water lilies. That's why a floating market on the river is as crowded and bustling as it is now. That's the story of the old days. And now, the floating market of Ca Mau is quite quiet. With the boats carrying fruits from the back of Can Tho, they sell them to the people using this network. The smooth traffic on the street has formed the floating market. Partly, it reduces the bustle of the floating market today. However, the demand to sell on the river is still high. Because people are used to the life of the floating market. This is the floating boat of Mr. and Mrs. Hau from Hau Giang province. For more than 10 years, they see this boat as their mobile home. Every week, Mr. and Mrs. Hau come to this market for a few days. After selling out, they come back to Hau Giang to buy other fruits in season. You've been doing this for a long time, right?

Because at that time, the main means of transport was boats. However, with the development of society, road transport has also become more and more developed. That is why the floating market has gradually retreated to the end of the river. The floating market has to give way to modern markets to serve the needs of the people. However, boats and boats are still very necessary in the context of the thick river like in Ca Mau. Therefore, the floating market is still there.
